    Quality Kitchen Refacing | Dutchcraft Cabinet Refacing … - October 6, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Why Reface Kitchen Cabinets?

    Many older kitchen cabinets are structurally sound, but are simply worn and outdated. Refacing can transform them in less than a week to a modern look. In addition, by adding new cabinetry, accessories and countertops, you can have all the conveniences of a modern kitchen for half the cost of a complete remodel. In addition to saving time and money, refacing is an environmentally friendly method of remodeling since the cabinet boxes dont need to be rebuilt and wont end up in a landfill.

    Why Were Different.

    I specialize in solid wood refacing and have been refacing kitchen cabinets for 30 years. I use only the highest quality materials available and pay attention to the smallest details. I understand that remodeling your kitchen is a serious investment, so I wont quote an inflated price and then entice you to sign a contract immediately by offering discounts. I quote an honest price and take the time to explain all the options available. If there are any questions or concerns during any phase of the project, you wont have to call an 800 number to get a response. I am a hands-on owner and will be there for you from the first meeting to the final cleanup at the end. You can count on me to be there if any follow up service is required. There are many companies offering similar services, therefore it takes commitment and dedication to the craft to stand out from the crowd. Call today to see what we can do for you.

    How Much Does Refacing Kitchen Cabinets Cost? - October 6, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Selecting your cabinet design is one of the most important decision you will make when it comes to your kitchen remodel. The cabinets comprise the largest visible square footage in your design so, in most cases, they are the driving force when it comes to how your kitchen presents itself upon completion.

    Thus, the decision becomes: do we rip everything out and build new custom cabinets, or do we reface the cabinets we have?

    Before we discuss the costs, it's important to understand what "cabinet refacing" really means. At the basic level, the cabinet refacing process preserves the skeleton and cabinet boxes and then adds a new finish, new door styles and potentially new interior cabinet and drawer organization as well. When Kitchen Magic does the job, you also benefit from our proprietary double-lamination process that structurally reinforces the existing skeleton.

    It's like your cabinets get dressed in a whole new set of clothes and then get to don a few fun accessories too.

    Plus, one of the biggest benefits of refacing your cabinets (besides the cost-savings) is how eco-friendly they are. Tearing out cabinets creates a tremendous amount of waste. Refacing saves the majority of that waste from ever making its way into a landfill. Plus, cabinet refacing is time- and energy-saving as well so your kitchen design can move much faster.

    First, we want to take a look at your existing kitchen layout and see what works and what doesn't. If you are going to reconfigure the whole thing, cabinet refacing might not be the best solution for you and we can discuss custom cabinetry or perhaps our "hybrid solution."If your basic layout will remain the same, we'll discuss your refacing options in greater detail and you can use custom options for a new island, to add a peninsula, extra storage, etc.

    Cabinet refacing does not limit your options in anyway. You can have any look, style or color you want. From ultra-traditional cathedral style doors with beautiful wood flourishes to streamlined, flat-paneled laminate or lacquered doors for a modern motif, your refaced cabinetry can be anything you want it to be.

    Cabinet spaces and drawers used to be plain empty boxes with shelves and a few drawer dividers. Now, your refaced cabinets can be amended with all of the bells and whistles that come along with custom cabinets. These can include a variety of options, but some of the more popular items are:

    Now, for the part you've been waiting for. On average, refacing your kitchen cabinets is only half the cost of using custom cabinetry and it is significantly more cost-effective than using semi-custom cabinets. Of course, the door styles and finishes you choose will affect the total costs but our clients are always amazed at how much money they save by choosing to reface their cabinetry.

    Our advice? Don't even think about building custom cabinets for your kitchen remodel until you've met with a professional designer and see firsthand how amazing refaced cabinets can be. You'll be helping to save the planet as well as your pocket book! Contact Kitchen Magic to schedule a consultation.

As the homeowner, we were very appreciative to the fact that was (is) very conscious of our budget, and was not a fan of going over the original quote. There were a few delays with the cabinets and mirror, and was extremely apologetic for this, however, we were not too bothered by the wait time. In the end, and his team have created a master bath beyond what we could have imagined. We appreciated their professionalism in all the aspects of this remodel; so much so, we have asked Atlas to refinish our water damaged basement.

    David Chipperfield Architects - October 4, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Construction of the Carmen Wrth Forum has reached a key stage with the topping out of the event and chamber music hall. The project, located adjacent to the Wrth headquarters in Knzelsau, Southwest Germany, was designed by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin. The building is embedded in the landscape and will create a new plateau, with two retaining walls made of in-situ concrete framing an open courtyard in front of the main entrance. This space can be used for open-air concerts and other activities. The large indoor event hall is accessed from a naturally lit foyer. While the lower part of this hall is sunk, the upper part is glazed and rises above the terrain. A small chamber music hall is placed adjacent to the main hall and is only perceptible from the outside as an undulation of the landscape. Completion of the event and chamber music hall is due in July 2017. A conference centre and a museum for the Wrth art collection are to follow in a second construction stage.

    David Chipperfield will give the keynote lecture at the 6th Baltic Sea Region Cultural Heritage Forum in Kiel today. The conference aims to raise awareness of post-war built cultural heritage and brings together experts from the heritage sector, architects, planners, researchers, politicians, property owners, developers and other related professions.

    Under the title: Restorations and reconstructions: reflections on Berlin, the lecture will centre on work in Berlin and specifically the 11-year restoration of the Neues Museum and the ongoing refurbishment of Mies van der Rohes Neue Nationalgalerie. The former is a balancing act between repairing, conserving, restoring and recreating while the latter is closer to the meticulous restoration of ancient monuments. Reflecting on different approaches the lecture will argue that energetic public engagement is crucial to the ongoing debate about the development and protection of our cities.

    Following a public talk given by David Chipperfield at the Haus der Kunst in Munich on Friday 16th September, this weekends Sddeutsche Zeitung featured an article on the practices vision for the renovation of the museum. In conversation with museum director Okwui Enwezor, David Chipperfield elaborated onissues surrounding the design and renovation of landmark buildings before presenting his draft concept for the Haus der Kunst. The article discusses plans to better integrate the building into the city fabric and to bring parts that have been closed off for years back into public use.

    Two Valentino flagship stores in London and Rome are the subject of an extensive feature in this months Domus magazine. David Chipperfield Architects Milan has been working in close collaboration with Valentinos creative directors since 2008. The concept is centred on the idea of creating spaces of permanence and simplicity reminiscent of classical palazzi. The format replaces the usual superficial decoration and scenography often used for retail spaces with a timeless expression of architectural form in durable and solid materials. Both the London and Rome stores mark an important step in the store concepts evolution. The store on Bond Street occupies the entire building with a new faade which introduces Portland stone to the palette, while a core element housing the lifts and staircases is entirely made of oak. Returning to Valentinos original roots in Rome, new materials and local techniques have been added to the established vocabulary. Non-structural arches on the first floor have been finished with polished white plaster while on the ground floor double layers of brick combine both loadbearing and reinforcing arches.

    A team from the University of Stuttgart led by Alexander Schwarz in collaboration with David Chipperfield Architects Berlin are one of three winners of the Piranesi Prix de Romes Imperial Forum competition. Organised by the Accademia Adrianea di Architettura e Archologia, the international ideas competition called for proposals that looked at the relationship between architecture and archaeology. The brief focussed on Romes central area, the Via dei Fori Imperiale which is situated between the Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum.

    The design centres on the transformation of the 1930s urban axis and the historic excavation area into a central park. Inspired by the tradition of the romantic landscape garden, the different archaeological layers are modulated into a continuous topography. Six new buildings, including a museum, a new main entrance to the Forum Romanum, a restaurant, a caf and an underground antiquarium, are inserted into the landscape.

    On Friday 16th September Haus der Kunst in Munich will host a conversation between David Chipperfield and museum director Okwui Enwezor. The talk forms part of a series of public conversations being hosted by Haus der Kunst on the state of the museum as a cultural and social conductor in todays global culture. The topic of the conversation will be 'Renovate/Innovate' and will look at issues surrounding the design and renovation of landmark buildings, the civic function of museums in the contemporary public sphere and the role of art institutions as spaces of creativity and production of cultural capital. In 2013 David Chipperfield Architects was commissioned to lead an extensive renovation of Haus der Kunst, and the series of talks marks the beginning of this process.

    The topping out ceremony was celebrated this weekend for the new chapel and visitor centre of Inagawa Reien cemetery. Forty kilometres north of Osaka, the cemetery is situated on a steep mountainside of the Hokusetsu chain in the Hyogo prefecture. Thetwo buildingsare arranged around a new sheltered garden, serving as a threshold between the outer world and a quieter space for commemoration. Rough sandblasted red concrete volumes form an intimate complex that is in tune with the dominant slope of the site. Completion of the new building is due in 2017.

    The German newspaper Tagesspiegel has published an article on the idea-finding process for a site in Berlins Tiergarten.

    The investor F&B Group invited David Chipperfield Architects, Studio Libeskind, Herzog & DeMeuron, Sauerbruch Hutton and Hadi Teherani Architects to submit ideas for a new building.

    The site is adjacent to Hansaviertel, a small district in central Berlin, which is characterised by the protected ensemble of buildings from the 1957 International Building Exhibition.

    No decision has been reached yet.

    A new edition of El Croquis was released this week, featuring work by David Chipperfield Architects between 2006-2014.

    The bi-lingual 632-page issue is a consolidation of the two previous editions on the practice, covering projects from all four offices, with additional material and interviews by Juan Antonio Corts, Emilio Tun and Rafael Moneo.

    We are pleased to announce a New Collaboration with Brioni starting with the Paris Flagship Store that opened in July 2016. Situated at 370 Rue Saint-Honor, the 590 sqm Flagship Store is the first to feature the New Concept developed by David Chipperfield Architects Milan as part of the new brand vision under the creative direction of Justin OShea. Depicting the contemporary essence of Rome where Brionis roots and tailoring tradition merge past and present, the design looks to combine ideas of luxury and simplicity, craftsmanship and industrialisation, tradition and a vision for the future.

    Architectural elements are carefully articulated throughout the space, grey travertine - also known as lapis tiburtinus and a reference to ancient Rome - lines the floors and walls. A sense of grandeur is achieved by large marble columns that assume their tectonic value expressed by their differing colours. A wide stage-like staircase links the two store levels without disrupting spatial continuity. The semi-transparent metal mesh partitions and the slim floor-to-ceiling studs that are used for display form a delicate counterbalance to the gravitas of travertine and marble.

    The successful first phase of the Ria de Arousa study was supported by numerous individuals and institutions who generously gave their time and ideas, these include the President of Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Nez Feijo; the mayors of Porto do Son, A Pobra do Caramial, Ribeira, Boiro and Rianxo; local fishermen and shipowners; entrepreneurs; the Architects Association of Galicia; professors from the departments of geography, architecture, economics and engineering at the universities of A Corua, Santiago de Compostela, ETH Zurich and ETSAB-UPC; the National Asssociation of Canneries; as well as the European Association of Archaeologists and the Spanish National Research Council CSIC.

    The fifth and final week of the study of Ria de Arousa culminated in a weekend-long workshop with David Chipperfield, experts and local authorities. The team presented their conclusion, highlighting the areas dependence on natural resources and its direct effect on the economy. The marine ecosystem of the ria and the quality of water are crucial for both tourism and the local industry, in particular the shell fish and fishing sector. Through a discussion with experts from a diverse range of fields, including economy, urbanism, geography and cultural sectors, with representatives from the fishing industry, it was agreed that a catalyst was needed to address the problem and to initiate collaboration from all sectors.

    The regional government and mayors gave their support to the future development of the study, ensuring financial contribution to continue the work. DCA will take part in the second stage of the study as it evolves in the next 12 months.

    As the study of Ria de Arousa enters its fourth week, the team has focused on the final workshop and presentation with David Chipperfield, held 9-10 July with local authorities and the mayors of the five municipalities. A cross-disciplinary and diverse range of guests and experts will also participate, representing fields including urbanism, civil engineering, restoration, geography and economics, with representatives from fisherman associations, water quality control and food quality control.

    The second workshop follows up on the concluding themes of the previous, seeking to create a foundation for a collaborative network to share ideas across sectors, and to encourage a permanent program to develop and protect the region, with particular focus on the preservation of the natural environment.

    Yesterday the Mayor of Lyon, Grard Collomb, announced DCA London as winners of the competition for the development of a site on the Confluence area of the city. Uniting the work of British, Portuguese and Swiss architects for a French city and developer, the project is one of many examples of the importance of European collaboration.

    A mixed-use development of 12 buildings is planned for the 27,000 square metre site that sits within the wider masterplan designed by Herzog & de Meuron. DCA will coordinate the development and design some of the buildings, working closely with Portuguese practice Aires Mateus who have been appointed to carry the designs for 40% of the buildings. The team will also be joined by a Lyon-based architecture practice yet to be named.

    Museo Jumex in Mexico is exhibiting Peter Fischli and David Weiss: How to Work Better. Opening this month, the exhibition offers the most comprehensive overview of their artistic collaboration to date.Occupying every corner of the museum, the exhibition features more than 200 sculptures, photographs, slide projections and videos from the Swiss duos 33 years of partnership. Arranged without any chronological order, the display reflects the timeless dialogue of their work and responds to the spatial conditions of the museum. The first floor multifunction space is used to display Suddenly This Overview, flooded by natural daylight. The series of miniature clay sculptures depict arbitrary everyday events, each exhibited on a single plinth arranged like a city scape. The darker and more enclosed spaces of the second level features Questions, a slide-show projecting hundreds of philosophical questions to the wall, in four different languages. At the very top of the building, the gallery space has been arranged into three separate rooms, showing the pitch black Rubber Sculptures, cast directly from domestic or natural objects, Airports, conventional photographs of airplanes, with sculptures ofCars. With constellations of mundane objects and popular culture symbolism, Weiss and Fischli ponder questions on reality and perception, the banal and the sublime.

    The exhibition is open until 4 September.

    For the Ria de Arousa studys third week, the team has prepared for the first of two workshops with David Chipperfield and guests, held on 24-25 June. The team outlined key areas felt to have been exploited by a lack of overview and misguided priorities and looked in depth at how this had affected the natural, agricultural, industrial and built environments.

    Day one of the workshop, the team presented their work to David Chipperfield, Fermn Vzquez (Visiting Professor at University of Barcelona and co-collaborator with DCA on the City of Justice), Simon Kretz (Senior Assistant and Lecturer for Urban Design at ETH Zurich) andHans-Jrgen Commerell (Partner at Architekturforum Aedes, Berlin).

    The second day of the workshop included additional input from Carlos Seoane (Teacher of Construction at University of Corua , Juan Creus (Head of Project and Urbanism Department, University of Corua), Xose Lois Martinez (Teacher of Urbanism at University of Corua) andFernando Agrasar (Director of School of Architecture, University of Corua). The discussions identified the scope and potential of the workshop and final presentation. The team proposes that the preservation of the quality of the natural environment, particularly water, is of central importance to all sectors, helping to restore a more harmonious relationship between nature, economy, and development.

    After spending the first week travelling around local municipalities and collecting information, the Ria de Arousa workshop group are now based in Ribeira where they are collating their findings and developing a methodology for protection and development strategies. Looking at the challenges and potentials of the territory, the team are focusing on three main areas: how best to promote a productive fishing culture; the impact of urban development on the local ecosystem; and an assessment of local industrial development across various sectors.

    Alongside this research, the team continue to strengthen key connections with the community of the Ria and engage with wider discussions. Towards the end of the week Colectivo 1aun, a young practice from A Corua, shared their extensive research on the Ria de Arousa with the group. In addition, Cristina Garca Fontn, a teacher in urbanism at the University of A Corua, also shared some of her projects with the workshop, and provided key advice on research methods and presentation techniques.

    "The EU protects your rights against these enemies of freedom.To leave the EU now, in these dangerous political times, is not patriotic, its simply foolish and it would send the wrong message to the enemies of European values. The EU is not perfect and it never was designed to be that way. The very way of it being a negotiating chamber of 28 nations, is the key to its success. It is not in the security interests of the UK to weaken the EU at this point in time. Whatever your feelings towards the EU, be aware that voting for Brexit has catastrophic repercussions for the whole of Europe and the world."

    Last weekend members of DCA London visited The Hepworth Wakefield to celebrate the gallerys fifth anniversary.

Since opening, the gallery has attracted 1.5 million visitors and its permanent collection has continued to grow through acquisitions and gifts.

    The team of graduates and students participating in the study for environmental development and protection of the Ria de Arousa area have gathered in Galicia to begin their research. During the first week the group visited various municipalities and met with local authorities and stakeholders to gain an understanding of the current state of the industry, ecosystems, cultural heritage and urban planning in the area, as well as the complexities of their interdependence. Among the places visited were the fishing port of Portosin, a shellfish cultivation area in Boiro, canning factories near A Pobra la Caraminal, the Patho Goian historic manor building, new urban developments in Allariz, and the Ecoespazoecological farm.

    Over the coming weeks the group will collate their observations to define the key focus of the study.

    Phoenix Glass New, Repair or Replacement by W&G Pros - October 4, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Window Repair or Replacement?

    Heating and cooling costs account for about 45 percent of your utility bills. Poor quality windows are responsible for drafts in the winter and inefficient cooling in the summer. Tight seals around your windows help maintain the ambient temperature in your home and keep your energy costs more stable. Here are some tips to know when you should replace your windows or get window repair in Phoenix.

    Older homes with single pane windows should upgrade to newer energy efficient windows with double or triple panes. If youve replaced your windows in the last few years, they might still be under warranty for repairs. Even if they arent, it would still be wise to look for a professional to quote you a repair price versus replacement.

    Rotting frames and sashes can be repaired, but the cost of new construction versus replacement might be significantly greater. Many places offer a discount when you replace multiple windows, which make it more affordable. If one or two windows have become so bad that the frames are warped or rotted, its probable that the other windows in your home will soon follow.

    Dont wait to get window repair in Phoenix. The deterioration will only continue to get worse, which will cost you more to fix. When making the choice to repair or replace, speak to a professional window installer. Discuss the age of your home and any problems youre having with your heating and cooling costs. Let the installer provide a quote for both situations. Then you can make an informed decision about which is better for your needs.

    There are a great many companies you can go to for Phoenix glass repair, and many of these companies handle a broad range of glass repair applications, including repairs for both residential and commercial applications. When youre searching for a company to handle your Phoenix glass repair needs, check their websites to determine whether or not they deal in the kinds of repairs or sales you are interested in. The kinds of services and products which are generally offered in each of these categories are outlined below.

    This category includes a very wide range of products and services, for instance glass doors and mirrors, glass tabletops and shelves, and insulated glass windows, like double-pane or triple-pane windows. In addition, many companies offer a service to customize any of these glass products for installation in your home. Another favorite custom glass installation is that of shower doors and tub enclosures, which tend to open up a bathroom and focus attention on the shower area.

    In the area of repairs, many companies offer emergency home glass repair and replacement, as well as replacement for windows that are old and cracked, or have become foggy and ineffective. To maintain building integrity after a window has been broken, temporary means can be used to seal the opening, and most companies will be glad to handle this for you.

    Commercial glass products are available from some companies, and these companies sell storefront doors and huge see-through windows to encourage customer browsing and shopping. Businesses are also often interested in security film, which can be applied to glass windows to strengthen and hold it in place if shattered. Security film also acts as an insulator, and can at least achieve a modest energy savings. Repair service is available from many companies for emergency window breakage, which would be very important to a business owner.

    Finding the right company for your glass repairs should be based on your needs, and when you need emergency glass repairs, its important to find a company who will do the job quickly and at an affordable rate. Glass repair can sometimes be as simple as replacing a window pane, but can also be extremely complex depending on the job. The company that handles a high-density glass might not handle replacing your homes front window. And some jobs are big enough that you just cant fix them yourself.

    Some repair companies specialize in a specific set of glass structures. Some work on high-strength glass and specialize in that specifically, and some work on all types of glass breakage. Knowing who are the most dependable glass repair companies is best established by word of mouth and so finding the best company to work with in the Phoenix area is usually pretty straightforward to determine. Besides checking reviews on the internet, if its a large job, take a moment to ask about their customers. Another consideration is that many businesses have variable hours while some glass repair companies are available 24/7, some keep specific hours, so if you need glass repair in an emergency, you might find that your glass company is not always available when you need them.

    And that means that glass repair is, unfortunately, rather time-sensitive. If a front window is broken, the opening leaves potential for weather damage and worse. The same is true with a broken window. Besides being unsightly, the effects of the window being involuntarily open particularly during a rainy season can damage things in the home. Make sure to have access to a dependable company for glass repair in Phoenix you never know when youre going to need it.
